Join an immersive 8-day mushroom cultivation course on site at the Fungi HQ. This hands-on training is designed to transform your knowledge— from spore to harvest.
Like the mycelial network, we grow best in environments rooted in abundance and support. That’s why we’ve created a hands-on learning experience surrounded by passionate, like-minded individuals.
What You’ll Learn:
The complete mushroom cultivation process
Techniques for growing sacred, edible, and medicinal mushrooms
How to turn a single spore print into a sustainable, lifelong supply
Guided by experienced cultivators, you’ll gain practical skills in a collaborative and supportive setting surrounded by sacred lands. By the end of the week in our mushroom cultivation certificate course, you’ll feel confident, empowered, and inspired to start growing mushrooms on your own.
We are located in the Highlands of Guatemala, the heartland of ancient Mayan Civilization. You will learn to grow mushrooms while experiencing the indigenous culture here at Lake Atitlán. This is a uniquely inspiring
learning environment for our mushroom cultivation course.
Become a node in the mycelial network. Collaboration is the foundation of our learning environment. The more meaningful connections there are in a network, the stronger it is. By living and learning mushroom cultivation together with other students, you weave yourself into a global web and form bonds that last.
Master the whole process of mushroom growing from collecting spores to picking your fresh mushrooms. You will learn and apply many proven indoor and outdoor techniques, learning to grow gourmet, medicinal, and sacred mushrooms for you and
your community.
Living and learning together is fun if we keep ourselves healthy and centered. Healthy food, yoga, breath work, sauna, swimming, and meditation are some of the holistic lifestyle elements that help to keep our inner and outer
space activated throughout the mushroom cultivation course in Tzununa.
